Vegetable Gardening in the Rogue Valley
This course will teach beginning gardeners and those new to the Rogue Valley to grow vegetables year-round from seed selection to harvesting. The emphasis is on science-based information and “how to” techniques to enable students to grow a successful garden the first year. More experienced gardeners may learn more advanced techniques to improve their vegetable gardening skills. Students will be asked to read assigned pages from the text: “Garden Guide for the Rogue Valley: Vegetables, Berries and Melons” by Jackson County Master Gardeners (OSU Extension), 2017. Class topics include: seed starting, soil, growing cool- and warm-weather crops, cane fruit (berries), controlling pests and diseases, fertilizing, irrigation, composting, harvesting and much more. Classes include slides, lectures, demonstrations, equipment exhibits, class discussion and Q&A.
NOTE: “Garden Guide for the Rogue Valley: Vegetables, Berries and Melons” by Jackson County Master Gardener Association (OSU Extension), 2017 is available from local retailers for about $20 or can be from the Jackson County Library. This text is not required but is highly recommended.
